   Hey guys,

   I'm been checking previous posts and experimenting with my own files. I can't find where I should put this script:
   <?php if(is_category() || is_archive()) {
   the_excerpt();
   } else {
   the_content();
   } ?>

   In my code so I don't have a big long page full of blog posts to scroll down through.

   I tried putting it in the index but nothing happened on the blog page.

   Where does this code go?

   The index code I'm working with looks like this:

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <div class="main">
   
   	<div class="col2">
   
   		<div class="left">
   
   			<div class="content">
   
   	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   			<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   
   				<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
   
   				<div class="descr"><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> by <?php the_author() ?><?php edit_post_link('Edit post',' ~ ',''); ?></div>
   
   				<div class="entry">
   
   					<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
   
   				</div>
   
   				<p class="info">Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> having <?php comments_popup_link('no comments &raquo;', '1 comment &raquo;', '% comments &raquo;'); ?></p>
   
   			</div>
   
   			<?php comments_template(); ?>
   
   		<?php endwhile; ?>
   
   			<div class="left"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Entries') ?></div>
   			<div class="right"><?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
   			<div class="clearer"></div>
   
   	<?php else : ?>
   
   			<h2 align="center">Not Found</h2>
   
   			<p align="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
   
   	<?php endif; ?>
   
   			</div>
   
   		</div>
   
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   Am I inserting this code in the right file altogether?

   Can someone please give me an answer. I don't care how easy/straight forward this is. Unfortunately I don't get it. Yet.
